What if,
What if the sun that warms a
earth is lost
and we search for it apart?
What if those frigid memory visit
again
and it beyond my furnace?
Now time is falling us apart
But how do I caution this nature
chasing out your warmth to foray
with the
sun.
What if the sun ceased to smile
How do I erase those days off
my coming
days,
Oh! sun, what if you ceased to
smile
Then this solitary love becomes
mine.
You are a sun
Who will comfort the snail to
live on
without a shell?
Who will solace those joyful
trees to live
on without their crown?
Who will console ekuro when
ewa set off a
voyage of no return?
Who will console a soul whose
breath has
been set free?
You are a sun
Shine on my day,
Ever let your sun smile.
